egister in ARM selects a new circuit on the route or on an alternative<br />
route. The repeater which did not receive a call-confirmation signal initiates<br />
a retest procedure consisting of transmission of the sequence 1 second stop<br />
polarity and 29 seconds start polarity. This continues until either a callconfirmation<br />
signal is received or until the maintenance personnel take action<br />
in response to an alarm, which is issued when the retest signalling has proceeded<br />
for about 3 minutes.<br />
Prevention of Character Printing on Clearing of Call<br />
With single current, unless special measures are taken, characters may<br />
sometimes be printed on the teleprinter of one subscriber in conjunction with<br />
the clearing of a call. If the A subscriber clears, characters will be printed on<br />
the B subscriber's teleprinter, and vice versa. To avoid this, a special signal<br />
is used on the subscriber line which receives a clearing signal (see signal<br />
diagram). The breaking of the subscriber's loop, which indicates clearing, is<br />
allowed to last for max. 150 ms, after which the idle circuit condition is<br />
restored. After the recognition time for the clearing signal, 400-600 ms, the<br />
polarity of the subscriber's line is reversed and the current returns to the free<br />
line value.<br />
International and Intercontinental Signalling<br />
In the introduction to Re<strong>com</strong>mendation U J, CCITT stipulates: "the outgoing<br />
country should conform to the signalling requirements of the in<strong>com</strong>ing<br />
country." This is an important principle and has a great effect on the design<br />
of international and intercontinental telex exchanges.<br />
The international telex exchange in Madrid, for example, must interwork<br />
with the following signalling systems for fully automatic subscriber-controlled<br />
international traffic to<br />
• Spain, i.e. Spanish national<br />
network<br />
Type B with keyboard selection, printed service<br />
signals and automatic tripping of Spanish B subscriber's<br />
answer-back.<br />
• Austria, Denmark, Ger- Type B with dial selection but without printed<br />
many, Switzerland service signals and without automatic tripping of<br />
B subscriber's answer-back in the respective countries,<br />
which is instead done from the Madrid<br />
centre.<br />
] UK, Portugal Type B with dial selection and printed service<br />
signals but without automatic tripping of B subscriber's<br />
answer-back, which is instead done from<br />
the Madrid centre.<br />
• Yugoslavia Type B with keyboard selection, printed service<br />
signals and automatic tripping of B subscriber's<br />
answer-back.<br />
• Italy Type B with keyboard selection, printed service<br />
signals, automatic tripping of B subscriber's<br />
answer-back together with sending of date and<br />
time.<br />
